Description

The Departments of Energy (DOE) and Defense (DOD) are undertaking an extensive effort to sustain and modernize the nuclear weapons stockpile, research and production infrastructure, delivery systems, and the nuclear command and control system. Completing this effort is expected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars over decades. Congress mandated the development of an annual report on the departments' plans and 10-year budget estimates for these efforts. This report reviewed the accuracy and completeness of the DOE and DOD report, with respect to the budget estimate contents and methodology. It addresses whether DOE's and DOD's 10-year budget estimates for sustaining and modernizing the nuclear deterrent are consistent with their funding plans, including whether the report provides complete information and a transparent methodology. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
